This is a Greek gold spiral bracelet of two snakes. Their tails are tied in a Hercules knot, and it is decorated with a garnet in a bezel setting. It is made out of gold. The bracelet is very detailed along the top of the snakes' backs, and on the inside, it is plain. It is currently in the Schmuckmuseum Pforzheim, Germany.
Current Event In Greece
Greek police destroyed a letter bomb sent to the Justice Ministry on Wednesday and warned other government offices to watch out for more potentially bomb containing packages. They are fearing a repetition of bombings in November. No injuries were caused by the controlled detonation outside the ministry building near central Athens. The bomb containing package was delivered by courier and had been addressed to the minister's office. It was delivered with the another package labeled as an independent initiative of lawyers. Staff at the ministry called the package suspicious and called the police. The attempted attack was similar to a bunch of letter bombs in November, when 14 letter bombs were sent to embassies in the Greek capital. http://www.wgal.com/news/26707774/detail.html
Society
Greek society is similar to other ancient societies, however in other places women had more rights than others. They also created democracy and other forms of government.
